A research tool designed to ambiently collect image data in remote work settings


Work used to take place in purpose-designed offices, but now it happens in multiple locations, some more suitable than others for healthy working behaviors. Conducting qualitative research on people's work habits across these diverse environments would create a large data repository. This research tool is designed to collect comprehensive data in time-efficient ways that reflects the realities of work.

Overview

Qualitative research is often challenged by its time-consuming and resource-intensive nature. Traditional qualitative methods often struggle to collect large amounts of data efficiently, and with the presence of the researcher in a controlled environment, the data frequently fail to represent real-life conditions accurately.

This research tool aims to create image data ambiently and automatically as people work on their laptops in remote settings. We hope to collect realistic data on people’s work habits to inform the dataset we would collect for a larger intervention that addresses back pain in the workplace. This could help people better understand, and make informed decisions about, factors that affect their back health.
